Negro Pages in Washington.

New York girls are hard to beat when
il comes to question Of new wrinkles.
but the Washington girls are fully capa-
ble of keeping up their end of the process
sion, SAYS correspondent The bill to
provide every member of Congress with
clerk seems TO have imbued every girl
in Washington with the idea that it would
be quite the proper thing to have Young
negro boy for = page to answer the door
bell, run errands, and follow her on her
shopping tours like adismounted outrider
The idea has caught the popular fancy,
and black pages in full livery are all the
rage. Clothed in gay colors, with crests
or initials on the large buttons, the little
darkies are now to be seen everywhere
about the city following their mistresses
on their shopp ng tours or when they go
calling and on reception days stand at the
door with silver waiter for the reception
of cards. 1t is very hard, however, to
discipline them, and on one or two occa-
sions they have made statements to vis-
itors which caused a great deal Of trouble,
especially at the house of Brigadier
General, where the visitor was told, after
waiting some time | can't find missus,
though she was here just now, but guess
she must have seen you coming, and

! After the late trouble over the above
dam we were in hopes that some favor
able solution of the matter would take
place, but Judging from the following
notice served on the Wisconsin Wood
Pulp Company on the Goth inst by
Marian L. Bensley, the trouble over
this dam and others is not yet settled
and will probably have to be settled by
| the courts:
To the Wisconsin Wood Pulp Com.
pany, w. E. Mack, c. A Spencer and
/ r. G. Lyon.-You and each of you are
hereby notified forthwith to remove
and take from my lands and premises
| all that portion of the following describ.
ed dam, situate thereon, to-wit A
dam across the main channel of the
Wisconsin river on section eight (S) in
township twenty-five (22) North OF
range six (6) East, between the place
known as the sGrand Chute" and the
place known as the ''Locker Rock" at
or within four rods below point known
as 'SSunken Pier Rock" and that part
of said dam which is situate on my
lands, and which you are hereby re-
CURED to remove, lies between the
Westerly bank of said river and the
center line or thread of said stream
and you and each of you are hereby
| forbidden to repair or rebuild any part
| OF said dam situate on my lands as
aforesaid, or to enter thereon for any
purpose except to take out and remove
said dam.
Dated April 26th 1887. Marian L.
Bensley.
The notice is similar, we are told, to
the one served on the Pioneer Com
pany of this city some weeks ago. We
hope Messrs. Spencer & Mack may
make some arrangements with Mrs.
Bensley to allow this dam to rest on her
land, and do what is right on their part
toward an agreeable settlement of her
grievance. Offer rent for the use of ner
lands, and let an unpredjudiced COM
mittee say what it shall be.
On the other hand we expect In case
this dam is not Immediately removed,
that Mrs. Bensley, or anyone else, will
not take the former time and means OF
removing it for them. There is no
cause for such methods in removing
property.
How much better it would be for all
concerned if the parties interested
would get together and come to some
settlement among themselves instead of
going to the expense of law suits that
will take years to bring them to close.
It's the most expensive and tedious way
of settling matters of this nature. We
| know, we speak the sentiment of both
cities when we say 'slet us have peace. !"
